To all when@K timmy concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY HAYES, a oitizen 4 of the United States, :residing at Ogden, in .the county of Weber `State of Utah, have invented certain new and :useful: Improve' 'ments in Mammalia-Bottles; and I do da "Clare the following tobefafllgolear, and exi1 act description ofthe inventionfsuckas Willi enable others skilled in fthe-arido, w chit appertainsto make and use the sanfte.; My'invention has relation to non-reiilla Iebottles; and the object is te provide a bottle o? this class that may be filled in: theusual manner at the factory, so that the liquid may 15 be freely drawn out as desiredj. and when the bottle' is oncel emptied it will be found abso;- lutely impossible `to refill it. j fllezfltheseendsthe novelty fcgn'sistsjn the- 'ensfnuetion; nqmbination, and arrangement. zo' on thesame,-aswil1be hereinafter more fully' deserbeand particularlypinted out in the larli In; the aecompanyin drawings the same referencecharaeters in icate the same parts grof the invention. l 1 Figure 1 is a vertical section. of my-non-re` Y lllable bottle, and Fig. 2 isa similar View of the bottle inverted.

I 1 represents a bottle which may be formed 3o ofyany size, shape, and material.

2 represents the neck, the mouth 3 of which is cylindrical, and at the lower end is an intermal annular groove 4, provided with planeparallel shoulders 5 and 6. 'l 1A passage 7 forms gira. eonununiation between the Acylindrical l.mouth 3 and the bodyiothebottle. The inper edge of'.` the lshoulder: bis formed with a .en ical .valve-seat 8, which receives the convalve'f'B, the upper end .of which termi- 4o"nates in a tapering head 10:51:.

l2 represents a perforateddiaphragm A'which snuglyjtsthe mouth 3, and it is formed-with two or more depending integral spring-arms 13 the lower ends of'which'terminate in a lat- 45 eral tooth 14.

l' The operationis'asfollowaul The bottle is lled in the usual manner, and the valve 9 is .fthe diaphragm .-in place inthe mouth of' the a Seals the passage 7, and while in this position.

,"without departingfrom the-spirit thereof.

-iindlvjal mouth, a conical .valve-seat below thefneck, in .the 'body ofthe bottle, a 'valve 9, 10' of double frusta-conical form in theseat,

when dropped in the moutl i,. lwhereit restson 'the valve-seat The spring-arms 1.3 of the l perforated diaphragm 12 are then compressed 5o and inserted inthe moutli and the dia-- phragm-'forced down until the teeth on thev v'lower ends of the arms spring outwardly into A the annular. groove 4. This securely. locks ,Y bottle and protects the valve. When the bot- .tlefis, tilted or inverted, asshownfin Fig. 2,

valve falls-frein its seatjand rests against Ythe diphragmir with its'stemstill remaining l inthe-passage?, thus allowing the liquid to 6o r-un:outfreelythrough-.itlie perforated diaphragmand'put the mouth of the bottle. Whenf the bottle is restored to its upright position,the valve falls back into its seat and it is 0f epur'se -i'nripossible vte refill or add to the contents of the bottle. v Although I' have specifically described the construction and relative arrangement of the several elements 'of my invention, Ido not 7o desire to be eoniined to the same, as such changes orgmodiiications may-.be made as -elearly fall within the scope of my invention thus'fully described .my invention,- what I claim as new and useful, and desire to v seeure by l'iettersPatent of the United States,`

' A bottlepr'ovided with a plain neck and cyand a guard ahovethe valve in .the neck of the bottle', said guard lcon'sisting of a perforated diaphragm 12, and depending yspring- 85 arms 13, with laterally-extending terminals fitting in the groove 4, at the junction of ,the neck andbody of thelbottle, substantially as described.v

In testimony whereof I hereunto afx my 9o signaturein presence of two.v vtne'sses.
